SWIMMING

Prep B had a wonderful time swimming.  The bus ride and going to the pool each day was exciting!  The students learnt how to put their head underwater, blow bubbles, kick and float.  They also used life jackets, kick boards, pool noodles and learnt a range of different stokes.  Some even learnt how to dive! 

In class, we did a brainstorm of the students’ knowledge at the beginning of swimming (in red) and added to it at the end of swimming (in green).   

The students did some writing about what they thought swimming would be like and how they felt about going.  Students had the opportunity to unjumble some swimming sentences based on the words the students came up with in the brainstorm.  They enjoyed this challenge and it helped reinforce their knowledge of swimming words and sentence structure.  

 

Students drew pictures for a range of swimming vocabulary and at the end of swimming they all drew some creative pictures about swimming, what they learnt and liked.  I hope you enjoy some of Prep B’s work!

Celebrations!

Last Friday to celebrate literacy and numeracy week and the end of our unit ‘Adventure Heroes in Literature’, the students dressed as their favourite hero and all joined in a parade. We had a range of heroes including Princess Jasmine, a ninja turtle, Tinker Bell, Nathan Buckley, Pocahontas, Supergirl, a witch, a cat fairy, SAM I AM, Sleeping Beauty, a princess, a pirate,  Jasmine, a ballerina, Little Red Riding Hood and a Policeman.  The students also wrote some great sentences  and drew some pictures about their hero and what they enjoyed about the week.

100 days in Prep! 

 We celebrated 100 days in prep on Friday the 29^th of July. The students had a great time making ‘100s Necklaces’ out of Fruit Loops and Cheerios and making and wearing our ‘100 Mask’ to assembly.  Morning tea was fun too sharing yummy fruit, fairy bread and cupcakes!

Term 3 in Prep B!
